teens vs adults
Your smile will be with you for life, and getting an early start is vital to good health. Correcting alignment at an early age will contribute to a better quality of life, and help you feel confident as you develop.
- Properly aligned teeth obviously have a positive effect on one’s appearance and self-esteem.
- Healthy teeth make it easier to bite, chew, and clean. This directly affects nutritional intake, as well as bone, tooth, and gum health.
- Adolescent braces lessens treatment time, can reduce future required treatment, and significantly improve the cost of overall treatment.
Our smiles are our first impression we give people. Our teeth are our professional assets at work, and healthy, straight smiles can give us the boost we need to feel confident in our daily interactions.
- Straightening your teeth can help boost self-esteem and enhance your communication skills.
- A new smile will give your social life a boost. You may take more initiative in making friends and feel more relaxed around the people you already know.
- With straight teeth, brushing and flossing can be more effective. Tooth decay, gum disease, and other serious oral health issues can be prevented, offering a healthier lifestyle.
- Clear aligners can be removed for eating and brushing. This allows a person to maintain their usual hygiene routine of brushing and flossing, without interrupting their daily schedule.

CALCULATE YOUR PAYMENT
Cost of TreatmentDuring your initial consultation, your orthodontists will be able to determine your cost of treatment based on your specific needs. There are many factors that affect your cost of treatment, including the complexity and severity of your problem and the required length of treatment. The average cost of braces ranges from $3,500 to $8,000, with the national average at about $5,000.
Amount Covered By InsuranceThere are many different agreements between insurance carriers and their subscribers; each contract provides a different benefit. Orthodontic insurance usually has a lifetime maximum for orthodontic services. This benefit is paid as a percentage of the orthodontic fee (diagnostic records, initial fee, monthly payments, etc.) until the benefit maximum has been reached. Contact your insurance company directly to find out more information regarding your orthodontic benefits.
Flexible Spending AmountA FSA allows you to set aside a portion of your paycheck to pay for eligible medical expenses. This is deducted from your paycheck, not subjected to payroll taxes, and transferred directly into your FSA.
Health Spending Amount
A HSA is a pre-tax benefit account used to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision care expenses that aren't covered by your insurance plan.
